i know scott is going to kill me bec he didn't answer my question when I asked a subjective question like how does product A compare w/ product B?
Has anyone heard the Anthem Integrated 2? How does the 750 compare to it?

Good old Google. All I know about the Anthem is what I just found online, so keep that in mind while reading my comments. If this review (or this one and this one ) for the Anthem INT 2 is what you are referring to, it doesn't seem like something that really compares to the 750 (or the 1050) -- it's a two-channel integrated amp (which means it includes a pre-amp) with a tube-based pre-amp section. From the sounds of it, the Anthem is a fairly sweet piece of equipment (the AudioReview reviews seemed generally positive). I'm just not sure why you're trying to compare it to a 5-channel solid state power amplifier.

If I'm looking at the wrong piece of hardware, toss me a link to the right thing...

no, i am talking about the same gear you linked above. i wanted to compare the front stage of the 750 to the int 2. Someone is selling me this amp for 650? is it a deal?
